1200 calorie diet buddies wanted!

1200 calories a day here. Feel free to add me as a friend!

I'm not perfect on my diet every day, usually at the most I go up to 1400-1500 calories though. Gotta stick to strict diets, I don't give myself a lot of choice in what I eat. Food is fuel, not pleasure!

Also doing the 1200 calorie diet!! So hard but like some of the discussion, I am 5 feet tall so I really need to count calories to lose and not go over 1200. I do exercise, mostly running, decided to keep me motivated I made a jar and for every mile I go on the treadmill, I pay $1. Idk yet how I will treat myself with that money when I reach certain goals, but I'm looking forward to treating myself!! Feel free to add me as a friend, I need all the motivation I can get!

Thats an awesome IDEA! ! I'm going to start that! (except I can't run I walk )

Are y'all having better success if you stick to 1200 calories no mater how much you exercise? In the past I have been exercising just so I could eat more, but I am not seeing much progress with the scale going down. In order to lose 2 pounds a week I should only eat 800-900 calories, which is completely not desirable. In fact MFP won't even close the log for the day at that level. So I have had to settle for 1 pound a week and 1200 calories. I'm looking for ways to make better progress. My maintenance amount is 1400 - 1500 so if I go over 1200 even by a little, I thwart my chances. I'm having a hard time with such a tight margin.

Yea, when I do 1200 every day I maybe can loose 1 pound a week. I cut things some days and i'll log all the food but leave a few bits here and there. But I'm pretty fickle with my eating... one week I'll be super good, and a couple days loose it, then be good, then loose it. I still stay either average or loose a bit... it's been two month on a 1200 and I've lose 8 pounds. still averaging about a pound a week. I allow myself cheat meals (which is where I loose it) too. because after I cheated I feel bad and it drives me to work harder.

Also I can't run anymore because I fractured my knee and I think I tore some tendons/ligaments bc it's not healed yet and it's been over 5 months. and I love running so I try to walk.. but you have to walk 2 hours to get a good calorie burn lol. I still walk my friends dog daily. not super far but it's better than nothing.

Hey there! I'm on 1200 a day too and have 4.5kg left to lose after losing 3kg over the last month I'm also vegan, so luckily I get to eat huge amounts for that 1200 and feel really full 90% of the time (the other 10% is when I have too many beers haha). Any of you feel free to add me!

Feel free to add me! I have 1200 calories as well and always share my diary, though I love looking for new ideas on what to eat! Thanks

Hi All,

I've started a 1200 calorie group called little women. If you want a private group to chat, feel free to join!

It may take me a day to accept since I'm in a different time zone.
